FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates generally to therapeutics for treatment mediated through a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway and, more particularly, to compounds that inhibit an adenosine receptor (such as an A_(2A) antagonist). The disclosure also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using the compounds or compositions in the treatment of a disease associated with a GPCR signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adenosine receptors (ARs) are distributed throughout the body and are responsible for numerous biological functions. The seven trans-membrane G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been divided into four different subtypes: A₁, A_(2A), A_(2B), and A₃. The A_(2A) and A_(2B) ARs stimulate activity of the adenylyl cyclase, inducing an increase of cAMP levels. A_(2A) ARs have a distinct tissue localization, different biochemical pathways, and specific pharmacological profiles.

Adenosine is one of the human body's most important neuromodulators in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. Adenosine is released from tumor cells and its concentration in the extracellular fluid of tumors can reach immunosuppressive levels (Blay et al. (1997), Cancer Res., 57(13), pp. 2602-5). The extracellular fluid of solid carcinomas contains immunosuppressive concentrations of adenosine. Id. This increase in adenosine concentration is a result of increases in CD73 (ecto-5′-nucleotidase) and CD39 (nucleoside triphosphate dephosphorylase) enzymes, which are responsible for directly catabolizing ATP into adenosine. These upregulations are triggered by hypoxia and the generation of HIF-1α. High levels of adenosine around tumor cells act to regulate multiple immune cells (e.g., CD4⁺ T-cells and cytotoxic CD8⁺ T-cells) via activation of multiple adenosine receptor subtypes, but particularly A_(2A) receptors, resulting the suppressing of pro-inflammatory activities and upregulation of anti-inflammatory molecules and immunoregulatory cells (Kumar et al. (2013), Adenosine as an endogenous immunoregulator in cancer pathogenesis: where to go? Purinergic Signal., 9(2), pp 145-65 and Sitkowsky et al., Hostile, hypoxia-A2-adenosinergic tumor biology as the next barrier to overcome for tumor immunologists. Cancer Immunol. Res. 2(7), pp 598-605; Ohta (2016), A Metabolic Immune Checkpoint: Adenosine in Tumor Microenvironment. Frontiers in Immunology., 7 article #109, pp 1-11). It was demonstrated that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells upregulate A2ARs upon antigen-specific stimulation in vitro and in vivo (Beavls (2017), Targeting the Adenosine 2A Receptor Enhances Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Efficacy. J of Clin Invest. 127 (3): pp 929-941).

Survival of cancer cells is dependent on their ability to avoid attack by the immune system. In addition, tumor cells can overtake the immune system to facilitate tumor survival and metastasis. Adenosine, whose concentration increases within hypoxic regions of solid tumors, has been recognized as being able to interfere with the recognition of tumor cells by cytolytic effector cells of the immune system. (Tuite and Riss (2013). Recent developments in the pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease. Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs, 12(8) pp 1335-52, Popoli et al. (2002). Blockade of striatal adenosine A_(2A) receptor reduces, through a presynaptic mechanism, quinolinic acid-induced excitotoxicity: possible relevance to neuroprotective interventions in neurodegenerative diseases of the striatum, J. Neurosci, 22(5) pp. 1967-75, Gessi et al. (2011). Adenosine receptors and cancer. Biochim Biophys Acta, 1808(5), pp. 1400-12).

Although all adenosine receptors now have an increasing number of recognized biological roles in tumors, the A_(2A) and A₃ subtypes appear promising targets for therapeutic development. In particular, activation of A_(2A) receptors leads to immunosuppressive effects, which decreases anti-tumoral immunity and thereby encourages tumor growth.

The A_(2B) receptor is another potential target for therapeutic development. Autocrine/paracrine stimulation of A_(2B) expressed on tumor cells is believed to enhance their metastatic potential and A_(2B) blockade may reduce tumor metastasis in an immune-independent manner (Beavis et al. (2013). Blockade of A_(2A) receptors potently suppresses the metabolism of CD73⁺ Tumors. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 110(36) pp. 14711-6). A_(2B) expression also correlates with relapse-free survival (RFS) in triple negative breast cancer suggesting that this pathway may be clinically relevant. A_(2B) blockade also has the potential to modulate the immunosuppressive properties of tumor-associated immune cells including dendritic cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (Cekic et al. (2011). Adenosine A2B receptor blockade slows growth of bladder and breast tumors. J. Immunol. 188(1), pp. 198-205; Sorrentino et al. (2015). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells contribute to A_(2B) adenosine receptor-induced VEGF production and angiogenesis in a mouse melanoma model. Oncotarget 6(29), pp. 27478-89; Iannone et al. (2013). Blockade of A_(2B) adenosine receptor reduces tumor growth and immune suppression mediated by myeloid-derived suppressor cells in a mouse model of melanoma. Neoplasia, 15(12), pp. 1400-9.

There remains a continuing need for new therapies for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to the adenosine signaling pathway.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, a buffer, excipient, stabilizer, or preservative.

As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. For example, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: decreasing symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival of individuals. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, beneficial or desired results include shrinking a tumor (reducing tumor size); decreasing the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth); reducing the number of cancer cells; inhibiting, retarding or slowing to some extent and preferably stopping cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibiting (slowing to some extent and preferably stopping) tumor metastasis; inhibiting tumor growth; preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. In some embodiments, beneficial or desired results include preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence, such as of unwanted cell proliferation.

As used herein, “delaying development of a disease” means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease (such as cancer). This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, a late stage cancer, such as development of metastasis, may be delayed.

As used herein, an “effective dosage” or “effective amount” of compound or salt thereof or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity of, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include ameliorating, palliating, lessening, delaying or decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, an effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to cause a tumor to shrink and/or to decrease the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth) or to prevent or delay other unwanted cell proliferation. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to delay development. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, in the case of cancer, the effective amount of the drug or composition may: (i) reduce the number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent and preferably stop cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or (vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. An effective dosage can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this disclosure, an effective dosage of compound or a salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. It is intended and understood that an effective dosage of a compound or salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an “effective dosage” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.

As used herein, the term “individual” is a mammal, including humans. An individual includes, but is not limited to, human, bovine, horse, feline, canine, rodent, or primate. In some embodiments, the individual is human. The individual (such as a human) may have advanced disease or lesser extent of disease, such as low tumor burden. In some embodiments, the individual is at an early stage of a proliferative disease (such as cancer). In some embodiments, the individual is at an advanced stage of a proliferative disease (such as an advanced cancer).

Reference to “about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. For example, description referring to “about X” includes description of “X”.

It is understood that aspects and variations described herein also include “consisting” and/or “consisting essentially of” aspects and variations.

In some embodiments, provided herein are compounds described in Table 1, or a tautomer or isomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing, and uses thereof.

The embodiments and variations described herein are suitable for compounds of any formulae detailed herein, where applicable.

Representative examples of compounds detailed herein, including intermediates and final compounds according to the present disclosure are depicted herein. It is understood that in one aspect, any of the compounds may be used in the methods detailed herein, including, where applicable, intermediate compounds that may be isolated and administered to an individual.

The compounds depicted herein may be present as salts even if salts are not depicted and it is understood that the present disclosure embraces all salts and solvates of the compounds depicted here, as well as the non-salt and non-solvate form of the compound, as is well understood by the skilled artisan. In some embodiments, the salts of the compounds provided herein are pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Where one or more tertiary amine moiety is present in the compound, the N-oxides are also provided and described.

Where tautomeric forms may be present for any of the compounds described herein, each and every tautomeric form is intended even though only one or some of the tautomeric forms may be explicitly depicted. The tautomeric forms specifically depicted may or may not be the predominant forms in solution or when used according to the methods described herein.

The present disclosure also includes any or all of the stereochemical forms, including any enantiomeric or diastereomeric forms of the compounds described. The structure or name is intended to embrace all possible isomers of a compound depicted.

Additionally, the structure or name is intended to embrace tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein. For example, when R¹ is hydrogen, the tautomer of Formula (II) is Formula (IIa):

Similarly, when R¹ is hydrogen, the tautomer of Formula (III) is Formula (IIIa):

All forms of the compounds are also embraced by the invention, such as crystalline or non-crystalline forms of the compounds. Compositions comprising a compound of the invention are also intended, such as a composition of substantially pure compound, including a specific stereochemical form thereof, or a composition comprising mixtures of compounds of the invention in any ratio, including two or more stereochemical forms, such as in a racemic or non-racemic mixture.

The invention also intends isotopically-labeled and/or isotopically-enriched forms of compounds described herein. The compounds herein may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. In some embodiments, the compound is isotopically-labeled, such as an isotopically-labeled compound of the formula (I) or variations thereof described herein, where a fraction of one or more atoms are replaced by an isotope of the same element. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C ¹³N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl. Certain isotope labeled compounds (e.g. ³H and ¹⁴C) are useful in compound or substrate tissue distribution study. Incorporation of heavier isotopes such as deuterium (²H) can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life, or reduced dosage requirements and, hence may be preferred in some instances.

Isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be prepared by standard methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art or by procedures similar to those described in the accompanying Examples substituting appropriate isotopically-labeled reagents in place of the corresponding non-labeled reagent.

The invention also includes any or all metabolites of any of the compounds described. The metabolites may include any chemical species generated by a biotransformation of any of the compounds described, such as intermediates and products of metabolism of the compound, such as would be generated in vivo following administration to a human.

Articles of manufacture comprising a compound described herein, or a salt or solvate thereof, in a suitable container are provided. The container may be a vial, jar, ampoule, preloaded syringe, i.v. bag, and the like.

Preferably, the compounds detailed herein are orally bioavailable. However, the compounds may also be formulated for parenteral (e.g., intravenous) administration.

One or several compounds described herein can be used in the preparation of a medicament by combining the compound or compounds as an active ingredient with a pharmacologically acceptable carrier, which are known in the art. Depending on the therapeutic form of the medication, the carrier may be in various forms. In one variation, the manufacture of a medicament is for use in any of the methods disclosed herein, e.g., for the treatment of cancer.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of the invention may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae herein.

Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.

Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.

Solvates and/or polymorphs of a compound provided herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are also contemplated. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are often formed during the process of crystallization. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and/or solubility. Various factors such as the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate

In some embodiments, compounds of the formula (I) may be synthesized according to Scheme 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

wherein A and B are as defined for formula (I), or any variation thereof detailed herein. It is understood that modifications of Scheme 1 can be made, such as further substitution of the structures depicted. Particular examples are provided in the Example section below.

Angiogenesis inhibitors can also be combined with a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof. Inhibition of angiogenesis leads to tumor cell death, which can be a source of tumor antigen fed into host antigen presentation pathways.

In another example, a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof can be used in conjunction with anti-neoplastic antibodies. By way of example and not wishing to be bound by theory, treatment with an anti-cancer antibody or an anti-cancer antibody conjugated to a toxin can lead to cancer cell death (e.g., tumor cells) which would potentiate an immune response mediated by CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 or a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, a treatment of a hyperproliferative disease (e.g., a cancer tumor) can include an anti-cancer antibody in combination with a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof and anti-CTLA-4 and/or anti-PD-1 and/or anti-PD-L1 antibodies, concurrently or sequentially or any combination thereof, which can potentiate anti-tumor immune responses by the host. Other antibodies that can be used to activate host immune responsiveness can be further used in combination with a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof.

In some embodiments, a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof can be combined with an anti-CD73 therapy, such as an anti-CD73 antibody.

In some embodiments, a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof can be combined with an anti-CD39 therapy, such as an anti-CD39 antibody.

In yet further embodiments, a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof is administered in combination another G protein receptor antagonist, such as an adenosine A₁ and/or A₃ antagonist.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Example B1. Radioligand Binding Competition Assay

Binding of selected compounds to the adenosine A₁, A_(2A), A_(2B), and A₃ receptors was tested using a binding competition assay.

The general protocol for the radioligand binding competition assay was as follows. Competition binding was performed in duplicate in the wells of a 96 well plate (Master Block, Greiner, 786201) containing binding buffer (optimized for each receptor), membrane extracts (amount of protein/well optimized for each receptor), radiotracer (final concentration optimized for each receptor), and test compound. Nonspecific binding was determined by co-incubation with 200-fold excess of cold competitor. The samples were incubated in a final volume of 0.1 mL at 25° C. for 60 minutes and then filtered over filter plates. Filters were washed six times with 0.5 mL of ice-cold washing buffer (optimized for each receptor) and 50 μL of Microscint 20 (Packard) were added on each filter. The filter plates were sealed, incubated 15 min on an orbital shaker and scintillation counted with a TopCount for 30 sec/filter.

For the adenosine A_(2A) receptor radioligand binding assay, the following modifications were made to the general protocol. GF/C filters (Perkin Elmer, 6005174), presoaked in 0.01% Brij for 2 h at room temperature were used. Filters were washed six times with 0.5 mL of ice-cold washing buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4) and 50 μL of Microscint 20 (Packard) was added in each well. The plates were then incubated for 15 min on an orbital shaker and then counted with a TopCount™ for 1 min/well.

Another radioligand binding assay was used to evaluate the binding affinity for the adenosine A_(2A) receptor assay was performed in duplicate in the wells of a 384 plate. Assay buffer contained DPBS 500 mM, MgCl₂ 0.1 mM, and 1% DMSO. Membrane-bead suspension was prepared by mixing 25.98 μL of human adenosine A_(2A) membrane preparation (Perkin Elmer, RBHA2AM400UA) at 33.4 μg/mL, 28 μL of ADA at 20 μg/mL, and 932 μL of SPA beads at 3.33 mg/mL) and incubated the mixture for 20 min at room temperature. Mixed 20 μL of radiotracer (³H-SCH 58261) at 15 nM to each well containing test articles at various concentrations and centrifuge the plate at 1000 rpm for 1 minute. Added 30 μL of the membrane-bead suspension to each well. Sealed the plates and incubated for 1 hr at room temperature with vigorous mixing on a plate mixer. Plates were read on Microbeta² (Perkin Elmer, 2450-0010).

For the adenosine A₁ radioligand binding competition assay, a similar procedure was used except that the following reagents were used: CHO-K1-A1 cell membranes; binding buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂) 1 mM, NaCl 100 mM, saponin 10 μg/mL; wash buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂) 1 mM, NaCl 100 mM; Unifilter GF/B—treated for 2 h with 0.5% PEI was the filter; and 1.6 nM of ³H-DPCPX was the tracer.

Similarly, the following reagents were used for the adenosineA_(2B) radioligand binding competition assay: HEK-293-A2b cell membranes, 20 μg/well, preincubated 30 min at RT with 25 μg/mL Adenosine Deaminase; a binding buffer comprising HEPES 10 mM pH7.4, EDTA 1 mM, 0.5% BSA; a wash buffer comprising HEPES 10 mM pH7.4, EDTA 1 mM; a Unifilter GF/C—treated for 2 h with 0.5% PEI; and 10 nM ³H-DPCPX as the tracer.

For the adenosineA3 radioligand binding competition assay, the following reagents were used:

CHO-K1-A3 cell membranes, 1.5 μg/well; a binding buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂ 1 mM, 0.5% BSA; a wash buffer comprising HEPES 25 mM pH 7.4, MgCl₂ 5 mM, CaCl₂ 1 mM; a Unifilter GF/C—treated for 2 h with 0.5% BS; and 0.4 nM of ¹²⁵I-AB-MECA as the tracer. The results of the binding assay are shown in Table B1-1 and are shown as percent residual binding at a given concentration. Percent of residual binding means binding of a compound in the presence of competitor normalized to the amount of binding in the absence of competitor. The compounds tested showed a range of binding to the adenosine receptors tested. For example, compound 1 strongly bound to A_(2A) (30% residual binding at a concentration of 100 nM), A₁ (−3% residual binding at 300 nM) and A_(2B), (−9% residual binding at 300 nM) but weakly bound to A₃ (96% residual binding at 300 nM).

Example B2. cAMP Assay

The functional activity of compounds was tested using one of the two assays to detect the present of cAMP. Activation of G-protein coupled receptors (such as A_(2A)) results in activation of adenylcyclase which converts ATP into cAMP which is used as a downstream signaling molecule. Therefore, molecules which act as GPCR (or specifically A_(2A) receptor) antagonists cause a decrease in intracellular cAMP concentration.

Both assays used HEK-293 cells expressing human recombinant adenosine A_(2A) receptor were grown prior to the test in media without antibiotic. Assay 1: The cells were detached by gentle flushing with PBS-EDTA (5 mM EDTA), recovered by centrifugation and suspended in assay buffer (KRH: 5 mM KCl, 1.25 mM MgSO₄, 124 mM NaCl, 25 mM HEPES, 13.3 mM Glucose, 1.25 mM KH₂PO₄, 1.45 mM CaCl₂), 0.5 g/L BSA, supplemented with Rolipram).

12 μL of cells were mixed with 6 μL of the test compound at increasing concentrations and then incubated for 10 min. Thereafter 6 μL of the reference agonist was added at a final concentration corresponding to the historical EC₈₀. The plates were then incubated for 30 min at room temperature. After addition of the lysis buffer and 1 hour incubation, cAMP concentrations were estimated, according to the manufacturer specification, with the HTRF® kit.

Assay 2: 100 nL of test articles at 100× of final concentration were transferred to assay plate by Echo. Cells were washed twice with 5 mL of PBS 10 μL of cells were mixed with 5 mL PBS. After aspirating the PBS and adding 1.5 mL versine, cells were incubated at 37° C. for 2-5 min. After centrifugation, 4 mL of medium was added and adjusted cell density to 5,000 cells/well with stimulation buffer. 10 μL of cells were aliquoted to the assay plate, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. 5 μL 4× Eu-cAMP tracer solution and 5 μL 4× Ulight™-anti-cAMP solution were added to assay plate, followed by centrifugation and 60-minute incubation at room temperature. Plates were read on EnVision.

The cells were incubated for 30 min at 37° C. and 5% CO₂, and the reaction was stopped by addition of 200 μL, 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. cAMP levels were determined by an ELISA kit.

Example B6: Anti-Tumor Activities in Immuno-Oncology Mouse Models

The anti-tumor activities of test articles will be evaluated in selective mouse models (e.g., syngeneic model, xenograft model, or PDX) as a monotherapy or combination therapies. Using MC-38 syngeneic model as an example: female C57BL/6 mice are inoculated subcutaneously at right flank with MC-38 cells for tumor development. Five days after tumor inoculation, mice with tumor size ranging from 40-85 mm³ are selected and assigned into sub-groups using stratified randomization with 10 mice per group based upon their tumor volumes. Mice receive pre-defined treatments include vehicle, test article at various doses alone, test article at various doses plus other anti-cancer therapy, and other anti-cancer therapy contro. Body weight and tumor sizes are measured three times per week during the treatment. Tumor volume will be expressed in mm³ using the formula: V=0.5 a×b² where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The tumor sizes are used for the calculations of both tumor growth inhibition (TGI) and T/C values. When an individual animal reaches to the termination endpoint (e.g., with TV >1000 mm³), the mouse are euthanized. The time from inoculation to the termination are deemed as its survival time. Survival curve are plotted by Kaplan-Meier method. At the end of study, plasma and tumor samples are collected to explore biomarkers.
